There are only two types of store culture in retail: the right one and the wrong one

I see where you're coming from, but I love having diverse retail opportunities. Sometimes I want to go to Nordstrom and have a nearly omniscient person guide me to something stylish and expensive. Sometimes I want to go to the indie coffee shop where the staff is competent but aloof. Sometimes I want to scrounge around in thrift stores, usually finding nothing, but sometimes finding a vintage designer suit that fits like it was made for me.

If the entire retail landscape looked and felt like the Apple store (which I do love) that would be kind of terrible.
